Starting from version 2019.1, PyCharm use JDK 11 which is officially not supported on 32 bit operating systems.

The latest version supported for 32 bit OS is 2018.3.7 which can be downloaded from https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/download/other.html

If you can't install or run 2018.3.7, please provide more information about the issue - errors, screenshots, steps taken, e.t.c.

Hey!

I installed the 2018.3.7 and I followed the installation instructions. However, I am still getting the same error (No JDK found. Please validate either PYCHARM_JDK, JDK_HOME or JAVA_HOME environment variable points to valid JDK installation). I also noticed that the environment variables mentioned in the error message do not exist. I am using Ubuntu 16.04 on an (i686 arch).

This is the output after using lscpu command

Hello, 

Please check https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/206544879 and try manually editing pycharm.sh as described in section for Linux. 

You should run PyCharm via pycharm.exe, not pycharm64.exe. If it still doesn't work, check if you have a jre32 directory in your <PyCharm installation folder>: https://i.imgur.com/5o02A8g.png
If you see only jre64, then you need to reinstall PyCharm and during installation choose the option Download and install JRE x86 by JetBrains: https://i.imgur.com/9GYvExt.png
When reinstalled - try again to run the pycharm.exe file.

Hi, could someone please help me??  Regarding PyCharm version  2018.3.7  which I have successfully downloaded and installed on my 32bit Windows 10  however I am running into a problem when trying to create a New Project where PyCharm pops open a prompt window (ok/cancel) titled:

I clicked ok and when I try to add py file to the project I see a message on the top saying "No Python interpreter configured for the project" and then tried the blue link option to "Configure Python interpreter" and tried changing it from <No interpreter> to the other option in the pulldown menu:  [unsupported] Python 3.1 C:\Users\Adam\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311-32\python.exe  but that's the version that was automatically installed from  Python.org  so I'm not sure what I have done wrong.  Here's the full version detail of the installed Python 3.11.4 (tags/v3.11.4:d2340ef, Jun  7 2023, 05:30:09) [MSC v.1934 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
